It never ceases to amaze me how many strangers come up to me in stores just because I have young, cute children.  One day when I was at the mall, some strange woman who looked dirty and disheveled approached me and touched my baby’s face without even asking me.  My baby was only about 6 weeks old at the time.  It really freaked me out because god only knows if she washes her hands regularly, and babies are so susceptible to infection.  What kind of person touches someone’s child without even asking?  How rude!

Today I was shopping and had numerous people come up to me, one asking me if I was “trading her in”.  I smiled and said “I am keeping her, thanks”.  Another person came up to me and started talking about how my baby was communicating with her.  The next was the cashier who thought my baby was fussy because she was too warm.  Actually, I felt like saying, its because she is hungry and tired.  Whatever, everyone’s a critic I suppose.  Isn’t it great when people who have no kids, give you tips on how to raise yours??

Its just so funny, because if I had a dollar for every person that approached me because of my kids, I would be rich.
